The Big Dude

....I jsut found out that the big dude kept watch over a dear friend of mine over the weekend.  I just thank God that she wasn't too badly hurt and is still her to yell at us if she wants too.  When things like this happens it just makes you appreciate your relationships even more.

Robert's Bowling Award

Tonight an expected suprise came in the mail. Robert received a plaque award for a recent accomplishment for bowling. A few months ago Robwert bowled 11 strikes in a row ...which is awesome. It has been his best game to date. I am so very proud of him. The next time I take pictures I will take a picture of it and publish it here on the web.


Go Honey!

Happy Birthday Amy

So sorry that I didn't get this posted sooner ...but HAPPY birthday to my niece Amy who celebrated her birthday on March 19th. Next year at this time she will be celebrating her birthday as a new mommy

A treat from the hubby

After coming home Thursday evening from the play my husband had a wonderful surprise for me. It seems that I was going to be going on an out of town get-a-way for the weekend with my hubby for Easter Weekend.

Thanks to Ron for wathcing our baby while we were gone made it possible, However, the baby wasn't all to happy about us leaving. He can always tell what is coming when he see the suitcases. Ron said that while we were gone that Roki seemed to be sad and not himself. When we came home Sunday it was obvious that he was punishing us for leaving him for the weekend.

Once again as I am typing this blog my pictures are still be published to my Picture Gallery. The folder you want to for our weekend away is called "Wheeling Downs".

We went to Wheeling Island. The last time Robert and I tried to stay there we were evacuated because of a hurricane that came up and closed the casino the only time in the Casio's history.

We had reservation for the Terrace Room and had and awesome dinner. Robert had a New York Strip and I had a slab of baby back ribs. You can see from the pictures that my ribs was way more than one person could eat and I ended up bringing most of the slab home.

As far as our betting we ended up $50 in the red after seventeen races. Typically, I do better than what I did. I was selecting my dogs for a "muddy" track ...and when we got to the race it the track was classified as a "fast track". I won the most races ...but Robert earned more of his money back than I did.

We had an awesome time ..and think we are going to make this an Easter weekend tradition for years to come.

A Wonderful Play

Last week for four evenings my mom was in a play at Riverside Apostolic Church in Westover, WV. The church was doing a production of a play called "The Messiah". The play lasted for two hours at which prior to going I was'nt thriled about how long it was going to last. The play was AWESOME ...and now after seeing it I would have attended all four evenings it was that good. I was so proud of my mom too ....she did an awesome job.

I am in the process of uploading the pictures off my camera. Shortly, you will be able to go to my Picture Gallery and look for a folder called "The Play". Inside this folder you will find pictures of my mom with her friends who were also in the play and pictures of my brother, brittany and myself that evening.


Prior to attending play the my brother, treated my sister, Brittany and myself to dinner at Olive Garden.

Behind in my Blogging

I have got myself behind in my blogging ...and if I don't catch myself up now I may just forget everything that has happened in the past week. So .....I am going to sit here until I get to the present day before I move on and read my email that I have not read in the past week. How in the heck did I get so far behind?

Tuesday

Just chillin here at the kitchen table with Brittany. Its's Tuesday night and we are sitting here talking about all sorts of things. School, boys, grades, summer vacations .....typical teenage things. Her and I went to a movie on Saturday, we cal College Road Trip ....it was funny. But leave it to me to start crying at the end ....I can't even go to a comedy without tearing up. The thought of Brittany growing up make me happy with happy tears ....but there are a few sad ones too. It seems only like yesterday when she was born. That was one of the most happiest times of my life ...I always wanted a daughter ..and there she was. Daniel was six years old when she was born ...so the timing was perfect. He really enjoyed being "big"brother ...and I think he still does.

Speaking of Daniel .he started a new job this week ....everything seems to be going okay with him. The only downfall is that he has to be gone away during the week away from Kamey and the kids.

Robert is bowling tonight ....he has been on an excellent streak ..so I hope it continues for him tonight. It makes me happy when he comes home on Tuesday evenings so hap because he had a good night at the lanes.

I am going to curl up here in a bit with my Kindell. I am currently reading "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle ....I think this book is changing my life. It is having a huge impact on me and just the way I am. I would recommend this book to anyone.

As I am typing this Brittany is putting her ear buds on my head so I can hear her list of most recent favorites.

New Google Sky

I will be playing with this tonight for sure!

CAT DIARY:

Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed
hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the
rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to
keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.

In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.
I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly
demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made
condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.

Bastards!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was
placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I
could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my
confinement was due to the power of allergies." I must learn what this
means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my
tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this
again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.

The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and
seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the
guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors
have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is
safe.

For now...

So Sick Again

I can't believe this ...I am freaking sick again!

FaceBook

I did some updating on my Facebook Account this morning. I really like Facebook. Take a look around and becone my frined ....we had have fun online if we are there at the same time. I will loo forward to seeing you in FaceBook. I am going to update my "'My Space" account later this afternoon

Monday Morning

Yesterday I worked a 12 hours shift ...so my boss gave me today off. I wasn't orignally going to take it today ....but after yesterday I was tired. I don't know if it was worth having someone in there to answer the very few calls that came in ...but oh well.

I am not going to do much today other than watch TV and do a few things on my laptop, and possible read some of my book and take a nap.

I might surg around in "BLOGGER and MY SPACE" to see if there is anything new I can add to my page.

Crazy at work

Its been really crazy at work and I have not had much time for anything. On Sunday I get to work a 12 hour shift answering phones. I really don't want to work ...but considering the number of hours most of coworkers has put in ...its the least I could do. The one thing I enjoy doing on the weekend is sleeping in ...so I will have to give that one up on Sunday.

Right now, I am going to brush my hair out and curl up with a book that I am reading, "A New Eatth" by Eckhart Tolle. I woul say that this book is probably going to be the most important book in my life sedond only to the bible, and probably have an impact on my life that no other book could have created. If your not reading it ...you should be. Everyone should have to read this book.

Good Reads

Yesterday I talked to someone who introduced me to Good Reads. This is a social network for book worms like myself. I could spend hours on here ...but called it quits last night. I did manage to enter the books that were on my desk ...but its going to take a few weekend mornings to get at least the ones that I can remember reading. If your a book worm like myself ..sign up and become my friend. I added a link to my books on the sidebar.

Monday

Its the start of a new week ..and it is starting off great. I am over whatever bug it is that I had, its warm outside ...like spring, today and Kamey's and Daniel's second year wedding anniversary and I am just as happy as can be.

I started a new book over the weekend called "A New Earth" ...is is a great book ..so far the book is living up to its reputation. The book is not an easy one to read ...it takes much focused thought while reading ...but the message is awesome and well worth the time it take to read and understand every word.

Hair Removal Evening

Hair Removal Evening

This is funny. (I don't have a clue as to who wrote this, but....WHAT A HOOT!)

All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal -

The Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax.

Read on......

My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, play with the kids.

I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours:

'Maybe should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet.'

So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those 'cold wax' kits.

No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off.

No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be?

I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)

So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other stuck together.

Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ('Cold wax,' yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh.

Hold the skin around it tight and pull. It works!

OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this!

Hair removal no longer eludes me!

I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.

With my next wax strip I move north.

After checking o n the kid s, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship.

I drop my pant ies and place one foot on the toilet.

Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my hoo-ha and stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek (it was a long strip)

I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRRRIIIIPPP!!!!

I'm blind!!!

Blinded from pain!!!!....

OH MY GAUD!!!!!!!!!

Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip. CRAP!

Another deep breath and RIPP! Everything is spinning and spotted.

I think I may pass out...must stay conscious...must stay conscious.
Do I hear crashing drums???

Breathe, breathe............

OK, back to normal.
I want to see my trophy -

a wax-covered strip, the one that has caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it.

I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair.

I hold up the strip!
There's NO hair on it.


Where is the hair???

WHERE IS THE WAX???

Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet.

I see the hair.
The hair that should be on the strip...it's not!

I touch.

I am touching wax.

I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered
in cold wax and matted hair.

Then I make the next BIG mistake...remember my foot is still propped upon the toilet?

I know I need to do something.

So I put my foot down.

Sealed shut!

My butt is sealed shut.

Sealed shut!

I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and think to myself

'Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may pop off!'

What can I do to melt the wax?

Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!!

I'll run the hottest water I can stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should

melt and I can gently wipe it off, right???

*WRONG!!!!!!!*

I get in the tub -

The water is slightly hotter than that used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit.

Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued together,

is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub...in scalding hot water.

Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.

So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cemented myself to the porcelain!!

God bless the man who had convinced m e a few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!!

I call my friend, thinking surely sh e has waxed before and has some secret of how to get me undon e.

It's a very good conversation starter 'So, my butt and hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!'

There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me.

She wants to know exactly where the wax is located, 'Are we talking cheeks or hole or hoo-ha?'

She's laughing out loud by now...I c an hear her.

I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box.
YEAH!!!!! Right!!

I should be the joke of someone else's night.

While we go through various solutions. I resort to trying to scrape the wax off with a razor .

Nothing feels better than to have your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!!

By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event.

My friend is still talking with me wh en I finally see my saving grace....the lotion they give you to remo ve th e excess wax.

What do I really have to lose at this point?

I rub some on and OH MY STARS!!!!!!!

The scream probably woke t he kids and scared the dickens out of my friend.

It's sooo painful, but I really don't care

IT WORKS!!

It works !!' I get a hearty congratulations from my friend and she hangs up.

I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief and despair....

THE HAIR IS STILL THERE........ALL OF IT!

So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts.

I could have amputated my own leg at this point.

Next week I'm going to try hair color......


In case you have not figured this out ...this was a joke I got in my email from my friend Debbie .....I am still laughing.
